Put two amber and two red on my Townie (on my rear basket), and one amber on my Switchback (rear rack).

Also have two very bright and highly noticable flashing red lights on my Townie, along with two smaller bicycle red reflectors (also on the basket). Now to take my Townie out at night on a dark street and see just how visible I am .... !!!!

Also have a small red flashing light on my helmet ... I could even wear my road crew reflector jacket ... Maybe that would be overkill ... ???

Now all I need is a couple extra reflectors on each wheel ..... !!!
I don't see that you have a flashing white on the handle bars. I run with mine on no matter what time of day or conditions. It tells car drivers that there are bikes on this route.
